Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Goes
beyond traditional creams and major surgeries to improve sun-damaged skin and
other facial concerns safely and effectively with minimal “down time” or
interference with an active lifestyle.

The passage of time and the
pleasures and stresses of daily life, along with environmental pollution can
cause changes to our skin – such as:

Sun and Smoke Damage

Enlarged Pores

Broken Capillaries

Mild Acne Scars

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Pigmented Freckles and Age Spots

Dull Complexions

Uneven Pigmentation

Liver Spots

What Are Pigmentation Spots?

Benign pigmented spots are
coloured spots or patches on the skin caused by increased production of
melanin, the dark pigment in the skin (sun spots, age spots, freckles, uneven
skin tone). Some lesions are present at birth whilst others develop with
exposure to sun or with age. Everybody wants smooth, clear youthful looking
skin. Unfortunately sun damage is inevitable.

Uneven skin tone is patchy
areas on the skin caused by increased production of melanin, the dark pigment
in the skin. These can develop with the use of harsh products, exposure to sun
or with age.

Freckles are localized
deposits of melanin. Brown, round or oval pigmented areas on the skin, they are
often barely visible. Freckles often occur most often in people with fair skin
and light or red hair. The tendency to freckle is usually inherited. They
become more numerous and darker in the sun, and therefore more noticeable.

If you have benign
pigmented spots then the only way to get rid of them is to have laser
treatment. This damage is well beneath the top layers of skin and no creams
will ever be able to repair the damage.

How Does Pigmentation Spot Removal Work?

The Intense Pulsed Light
system produces a light that eliminates flaws without damaging the surrounding
skin. A sapphire crystal waveguide conducts the filtered light to the target
chromophores in the tissues causing the unwanted skin lesions to heat up and
disintegrate/disappear. Discolouration of the skin and hyper-pigmentation can
be irradiated.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The number of treatments
will depend on the type and size of the pigmented lesion but typically 4 to 6
sessions are required at 4-6 week intervals.

How Do I Prepare For A Treatment?

Patients should avoid
tanning on the treatment area roughly one month ahead of treatment to avoid
excessive light absorption in the skin. Immediately after the treatment the
skin is particularly sensitive to UV light and strong sunlight should be
avoided for at least 2 weeks. High factor sun lotions can be used.

What Is The Treatment Like?

The procedure is
non-invasive and pain free. Many people describe the procedure as a flick of an
elastic band.

Why Do I Need A Test Patch?

This is to check your skin
suitability and to ensure there are no adverse reactions to the treatment. A
period of 2 – 5 days must be left between this and commencement of treatment.
Not all clients will require a test patch and this will be assessed within the
consultation.

Pre-Treatment

No use of depilatory creams or waxing in the few days prior to the treatment.

No bleaching of the hairs in the few days prior to the treatment.

No sunbathing for 2 weeks before the treatment.

Shave the area to be treated a few days before the treatment.

Post Treatment Care

Use SPF30+ sun screen daily and avoid any sunbathing for 4 weeks after the treatment.

No massage on the treated area within 4-5 days.

Must not press and scratch the treated area.

Use quality mineral make up and if possible avoid makeup for four to five days following treatment. The skin is sensitive during this period.

Take Vitamin C and Vitamin E to help with healing.

No eating hot and spicy food because the skin is sensitive during this period.
